Students Beware
12 February 2020
Please all take a read at the below -
There has been a recent spate of beggars posing as deaf fundraisers in Sheffield, and student are being warned to stay vigilant when out and about.
The perpetrators, who pose as deaf people trying to raise funds in the form of donations, are asking passers by to sign a false petition detailing their 'cause' before asking for money from those they have engaged.
In some instances, people have been asked to withdraw money from nearby cash machines, or targeted by pickpocketing whilst they are distracted reading the petition.
